Discover the delicious flavor of our oven-baked trout dish, a simple and quick recipe perfect for those looking to impress with a refined yet easy-to-make main course. This dish is not only tasty but also healthy, thanks to the combination of fresh fish and aromatic vegetables. Let's get started!

Ingredients:

- 4 trout fillets (about 150-200 g each)
- 2 bell peppers (one red and one yellow)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 200 g mushrooms (champignon or pleurotus)
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 100 ml dry white wine
- Juice of one lemon
- 3 garlic cloves
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by washing the vegetables well. Cut the peppers into small cubes, the onion into thin slices, the tomato into cubes, and the mushrooms into slices. If you’re looking for a heartier option, you can also add zucchini or carrot.

2. Chopping the parsley: Finely chop the fresh parsley. This will add a fresh aroma to your dish.

3. Preparing the spice mix: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you achieve a smooth emulsion. The olive oil will not only enhance the texture of the dish but will also add a hint of flavor.

4. Assembling the dish: In a baking dish, place the trout fillets. On top, add the chopped vegetables and pour the spice mix over. Make sure the fillets are well covered with vegetables to infuse with their flavors during baking.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and let the trout bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the trout is perfectly cooked.

6. Serving: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for an added splash of color and flavor. Serve the trout with warm vegetables, alongside a fresh green salad or a side of basmati rice, which will absorb the delicious flavors.

Unique suggestion: If you want to add a touch of originality, you can sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese or a few black olives on top before baking. These ingredients will provide a Mediterranean note that will delight the taste buds.

This oven-baked trout recipe with aromatic vegetables is perfect for a quick, healthy, and flavorful dinner. Enjoy!
